Thank you to everyone who contributed before one of our most important filing deadlines. Your generosity does not go unnoticed and I am beside myself with this outpour of support. But it's not over yet. There are only 11 days until ballots go out and there is still plenty to do!
SF Transit Week

Last week Governor Brown and Mayor Breed convened the Global Climate Summit in San Francisco —an international environmental response to President Trump’s refusal to work to stop climate change. Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 100 at the Summit, committing CA to 100% renewable energy by 2045, among many exciting and visionary actions.
I had the opportunity to meet several Assemblymembers (see below) who are strong environmentalists as well as a woman from Ghana who manufactures lightweight bicycles out of bamboo.

This past weekend in San Francisco was incredibly motivating. I started at the Love Our City clean up at Rosa Parks Elementary near my home as part of #CleanSF. I then joined the huge RISE for Climate, Jobs, and Justice mobilization on the Embarcadero. It was hailed as the largest on the West Coast, proving that the Bay Area will continue to be on the forefront of environmental justice.
Thank you to all who were a part of this moment in history.
